Chapter 151 The story of a Queen, Ends...
Magical phenomena manifested around the golem again and again. Its hands, mouth, and ears also started to bleed in the form of dark red blood.
(The hatred of the combined souls was so strong that it caused the 'hatred' itself to take a physical form and manifest in the form of dark red blood…)
Such physical manifestations of hatred and other emotions only happen in extremely rare circumstances.
The biggest reason for this to happen was the chaotic mana, which had become ten times more chaotic and violent as the dungeon's rank got raised to S-rank.
The giant mouth of the golem opened, and it screamed at Fade and Kira who were lying on the ground. Its voice carried great hatred in it.
"KILL YOU DEMONS!! I CURSE YOU!! CURSE YOU!!"
The loud voice of the golem was so overbearing that it directly caused Fade's eardrums to burst and he lost his hearing sense in an instant.
Now he couldn't hear anything at all.
Blood flowed out of his ears as he crawled towards Kira in a desperate effort to save his life.
Fear and pain had overwhelmed his mind, he even stopped caring about his crushed leg, and he just wanted to get a healing potion from Kira's space ring.
(He doesn't carry any potion or healing items in his own space ring, because most of his needs are provided for by Kira. He doesn't have the money to buy it for himself, but Kira provides him with anything whenever he needs…)
This carelessness of not having a single healing potion in his own space ring has cost him a lot today.
Today's events will stay in his mind as one of the most traumatic experiences in his whole life.
...
The golem didn't wait for Fade, it didn't show any mercy, it only had one thing as its objective.
Which was: 'to kill any demon in sight'
And from its clouded 'will's' perspective, everyone looked like a demon right now.
Thus, it raised its feet once again.
This time the attack was directly aimed to crush both Fade and Kira, in one go.
Fade glanced up with great difficulty, he couldn't hear the howling wind because his ears were not working anymore, but he knew from the momentum of that attack that his doom was near.
"I-I am gonna die! S-some help! Help! I-I don't want to die!" (Fade)
Tears rolled down Fade's face as he looked at the hideous face of the golem staring at him with hatred and anger.
He could feel in his bones that if this attack landed he would be dead for sure.
But the golem didn't care about Fade's emotions at all, it stomped with all its might and strength, the wind pressure from its stomp alone was so strong that it caused the ground to crack around Fade and Kira.
At the last moments, when the attack was about to land, Fade closed his eyes in despair, he had already lost all hope at this moment.
He even forgot about escaping at this moment, and all he felt was immense despair.
As he closed his eyes in despair, he waited for the attack to land and crush him into a meat paste, he waited for a few seconds but the attack did not land and the expected damage didn't happen at all.
...
"Tch! Pathetic, I was expecting much better from someone recommended by Neo, but it turned out… he doesn't even have a strong mind…" (Raji)
"Such a disappointment…" (Raji)
A cold voice resounded throughout the area, but since Fade's ears had stopped working, he couldn't hear it at all.
Fade opened his eyes after a few seconds when didn't feel the attack land on him, what greeted him was the cold and disappointed look on Raji's face.
Raji's eyes stared at his pathetic face which was covered in tears and snot with disgust and disappointment.
A small portal was located nearby from where Raji had come, other party members also slowly came out of the portal one by one.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the giant and hideous-looking stone golem standing nearby.
The golem's whole leg was frozen in ice and it was not even able to move one inch.
The golem tried to free itself from the ice, but the ice didn't even budge.
Seeing the golem struggle, Raji shook her head and explained to the students as if to educate them a little.
"It's useless to try to break the ice created by me, it's not a spell in the first place, it's my 'authority'.." (Raji)
"…in other words, I directly froze the 'space-time' in that area where you see ice… it's pointless to try to get rid of it…" (Raji)
The students opened their eyes in shock at her explanation. Freezing 'Space-time' itself was already so incredible to hear, but seeing it with your eye was even more shocking.
Yet Raji pulled off this insane feat with seemingly no effort at all.
Raji gave Fade one more glance as she explained this to the other students.
Then, Raji stopped looking at Fade. She already deemed him useless and a great disappointment.
She deemed him unworthy to be taught something by her.
'I have serious doubts if this guy should even be qualified to be a candidate for this test…' (Raji)
Link and Rio's extraordinary feats of disposing of peak A-rank monsters with their own efforts raised Raji's evaluation bar too high.
She felt disappointed in Fade at that very moment when she sensed that he was depending on Kira too much, and now her disappointment has reached its limit, she doesn't even care about educating Fade anymore.
She had already been using her mana sense on Fade and Kira since the moment they were running toward the central chamber in the underground tunnels.
(Raji entered the dungeon around that time and immediately used her mana detection to detect the situation inside the dungeon.)
This chaotic mana doesn't affect Raji at all, it's totally ineffective on her, and she can easily use her mana detection and sense every single detail that this dungeon has.
Her mana detection skill's range is thousands of kilometers wide, she can easily sense the entire dungeon and can even sense where its limits are.
Thus, she knew everything that was going on here with Fade and Kira.
She waited and gave Fade several chances to redeem his image of coward but Fade continuously disappointed her over and over.
Not only Fade depend on Kira too much, but he immediately loses his cool when he feels pain and loses Kira's support.
This proves that he is still not good enough to be facing brutal battlefield situations. His mistakes in the critical moments of the war can cause the loss of many soldiers.
'I would give him a failing mark for this test…' (Raji)
Raji shook her head and stopped caring about him.
...
But obviously, Riya could not neglect her duty as a healer, she immediately got to work and started healing Fade.
Others helped in dragging Kira out of the rubble.
Liam cast a water spell to splash water on Kira's face and wake her up from her unconscious state.
Seeing them all follow the proper safety procedures while putting their personal differences aside at this moment of emergency, made Raji nod her head in satisfaction.
'Aside from this useless kid, the rest of them are all capable and talented individuals…' (Raji)
Raji had already given the students her silent approval, she was already expecting the students to have a great future, as they were all talented and promising individuals.
Seeing that the students were all doing fine, Raji stopped staring at them and then glanced at the golem that was still trying its best to get rid of the ice.
The golem opened its mouth again and shouted with a loud voice.
"CURSE YOU DEMONS! CURSE YOU! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!"
The sound was extremely loud, it could have harmed the students, so Raji cast a simple barrier and blocked it from reaching the students easily.
'This thing looks quite ancient…' (Raji)
Raji shook her head and stopped thinking about these things.
"This dungeon is supposed to be A-rank, this isn't a place for an S-rank opponent like you to appear…" (Raji)
"So, disappear from my sight.." (Raji)
At Raji's command, the ice spread all over the golem's body at an extremely fast speed it was so fast that it seemed to have happened in an instant. (SS-rankers can bend the 'space-
time' itself, so don't bother measuring their attack speed…)
The golem stared at Raji's figure with great hatred in its eyes but it was helpless, it had no other choice.
It didn't have the strength to go against an SS-ranker at all.
In those last moments, the queen's soul seems to have gained some clarity back again, she took one final glance at Raji with great regret and sadness.
Eventually under Raji's 'Authority', her soul dissipated into nothingness, along with the souls of the other warriors.
When the ice fully covered the giant golem it broke apart into tiny pieces of shining ice and scattered in the wind.
The giant golem seems to have evaporated into thin air as if never existed, to begin with, and thus the long-festering hatred finally ceased to exist.
All the warrior's 'souls' and remnant 'wills' rest in peace, at last.
